Resume

PPforLife

Hi, I've been lurking on here for quite some time now. I have always been interested in the IT filed, (fixing computers, building computers). About two years ago, the financial firm that i worked for, informed me that my services was no longer needed (they gave me the boot, fired me, laid me off, all the same ish to me LOL)

Any who, I've recently been working at a PC shop to gain some experience, but now i want to move up and maybe get a corp Tech career going. (theres no room to grow at my current job). So i would appreciate it, if you guys can give me some feed backs w/ my resume.

Thanks ahead.

Not an expert, but since you asked... IMHO -
I would condense the white space and make it all one page.

You don't need both the first set of bullets about "Desktop Support" and then the second set about what your day to day was at your job. Leave the blurb paragraph at the top if you want, but combine those bullets into your current job. Same thing with the "Software". If you really want those keywords in there, in your job description say "Used Microsoft Backup/Restore Wizard and Norton Ghost to backup data and files"

Bring your Education to immediately after your intro paragraph.

Take it to a library/school and let them help revise your writing.

Have you updated your resume? What was stated above is exactly what you need to do. Condense to one page and eliminate the white space. Personally I would remove the paragraph and convert that section into a Skillset. Otherwise, re-read the paragraph 'cos there's a typo.

Also, put all titles to the left and change the font to Arial, sz10. Make sure the formatting is absolutely consistent throughout.
